Discover the ideal complement to your patio with oven-like performance from Napoleon Grills. The Napoleon LEX 485 (formerly known as Mirage 485) freestanding natural gas grill has four stainless steel tube burners that provide up to 48,000 BTUs of cooking power. This 29 1/2-inch grill on cart has 485 square inches of main cooking area and 190 square inches of warming area for a total of 675 square inches of cooking area. The Napoleon electronic Jetfire ignition with crossover lighting starts each burner individually for a reliable start up every time and allows you to light all the burners at the same time. The stainless steel, wave cooking grids create the trademark Napoleon sear lines. The stainless steel, self-cleaning sear plates vaporize drippings, control flare ups and keep your food moist. The LEX485 also has a 13,500 BTU ceramic rear infrared burner for roasting and a 12,500 BTU ceramic infrared side burner. Over 11,000 flame ports on the side burner produce up to 1800 degrees Fahrenheit for optimum searing and locking in juices. The tightly sealed, double-walled hood features an Accu-Probe temperature gauge and retains heat for oven-like performance. Back-lit control knobs make grilling at night easy and clean up is a cinch with the full width removable drip pan. The grill cart features an integrated ice bucket/cutting board, wrap around shelves, condiment trays, stainless steel double doors for storage and easy roll locking casters for moving the grill around.

Lex485 Great Grilling

I bought this grill in March and have been rotisseriering, grilling, searing and anything else you can imagine doing with a grill. I love the rotisserie functionality and it does up a real good rib or whole chicken. The sizzle zone (first time having one of these) was a process learned but wow does it produce a really great tasting steak when coupled with indirect heat. I just purchased the Napoleon smoke tube and the meat lovers kit that has the rib rack and I can not wait to try to smoke some meat using this and seeing how it comes out I'm sure it will be fantastic as every recipe I take from their website is a joy for the entire family and for me personally creating a new masterpiece. The grill has stood up well to daily grilling and did see a few end of winter snow storms that it stood up to very well. I am looking forward to years of great grilling from my first Napoleon Grill

Can't stop using it

Replaced a big box store grill with the Napoleon LEX385 and am I ever glad I did. I feel pretty confident grilling anything on the grill before. The seering rack (that I didn't have before) is amazing, never did I think it would make such a difference in the flavor of the meat. Man was I wrong, now I can taste the rich flavors that are trapped inside the meat instead of letting those juices drip into the cavity of the grill and flame away the dish.
The blue ligths around the knobs are just a non value added gimmick to me, but everything else is rock solid. Love the cutting board feature that I use an ice bucket to keep the refreshments cold while cooking.

Best BBQ I ever bought!

I purchased my LEX485 about two years ago. Never regretted my buy once. This BBQ has lived up to its quality and advertised as to be just that. With regular maintenance cleaning is easy and simply.. tons of accessories available makes it fun and ejoyable to cook on Napoleon grills.

Great bbq 2 years later

I've always bought cheap bbq's that only lasted a couple years at most and got tired of having to replace parts and having issues with the BBQ. I've had this one 2 years going on 3 and I haven't had a complaint about it yet. I haven't had to replace any parts and it still looks like I just bought it from the store even after 2 years of heavy use. I also really like the natural gas opposed to the propane I never have to worry about running out of fuel. I know they Napoleon's look like they cost a lot of money but if you really think about it in 10 years I will have probably gone through 3-5 cheap bbq's as to prolly just this one and that's only if it doesn't last longer which in the end would be cheaper and save time not having to assemble a new bbq every few years. Also the rotisserie has made many available meals.

Very Pleased

I had no previous experience with the Napoleon brand, so I was a little nervous. When the grill arrived, there were a lot of pieces to assemble, but it was fairly easy. The grill works extremely well. I'm very pleased with my purchase.

Expert Review

The Skinny:

Great buy for the money

Reliable ignition system

“Sizzle zone” infrared burner and ice bin with cutting board

Good warranty

Things We Love:

Napoleon LEX gas grills are an excellent value, especially considering the grill's innovative accessories and features. The LEX series offers and optional infrared rear burner, an infrared “sizzle-zone” burner, and a built-in ice bucket with integrated cutting board. On the LEX 605 and 730 the “sizzle zone” is located under the cooking grates inside the grill, and they have a conventional open flame side burner for even more versatility. I also really like Napoleon’s doubled lined “lift-ease” lid, which opens easily and helps hold in heat for oven like cooking. The lid is hinged near the middle, and when open adds hardly any depth to the back of the grill allowing for easy placement in a variety of spaces.

Napoleon offers a generous grilling area for the price, and there are a lot of accessories available, so you can increase the versatility of the grill. If you love the flavor of charcoal, you can put in a charcoal tray and use the burners to light the charcoal, then turn them off. They also have a smoker tube accessory that you can fill with wood chips and add more layers of flavor to your BBQ. A rotisserie kit is also available so you can utilize the infrared rear burner on select models. I like that this is an option. That way people who aren’t interested in the rotisserie don’t have to pay for something they won’t use.

The LEX grills are also available as built-in models, which are nice, affordable options for your outdoor kitchen.

The warranty on the LEX series is a standout in its class, having a lifetime warranty on the exterior housing and cooking grids. Napoleon also boasts a 10 year + 5 warranty on their burners and flame tamers that provides replacement parts at a 50% of normal cost for 5 years after the 10 year warranty expires.

Thing To Consider:

While this grill is built tough, and backed by a strong warranty, Napoleon LEX grills are not "all stainless steel", which is what many customers are shopping for nowadays. Along with the stainless steel components on the grill, you will also find cast aluminum and porcelain enameled steel components too, such as cart legs, back panels, etc.

You'll Like This Grill If:

You want a high value gas grill, with great cooking features and accessories, backed by a strong warranty from a reputable company.

Question:

What amount of assembly is required

Was This Helpful?

Answer:

Hi, Robert! Great question! You'll need to assemble the cart and then attach the grill head to the cart. The grill head will be assembled, you'll just need to remove all the packaging from the parts inside to get it set up. Having a helper is recommended!
